New by me: Citrix forgot to tell you there was a zero day RCE vulnerability used widely since at least May in Netscaler.

Nobody released any technical information until now.

It has been used to pop "critical" organisations in the Netherlands and worldwide.

What to do:

"You’ve reached your monthly article limit." this is the first time i've ever opened this website

there was a post in a group chat about that Copilot garbage theyre adding to Excel so i spent a while setting up this photo and posted it saying "i dont think i got the update yet" but everyone just ignored me. so idk maybe you will enjoy it

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

#Android #Google

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

Hhehe

Direct Action Gets the Goods!

Microsoft forums always have replies like:

Hello I am a goldstar certified super support rank platinum tier support agent with ten years of experience of calling myself a good boy.
I suggest that you turn off and on your computer. Then if that does not work reinstall windows. If that does not work just get a new computer.
Bye!

I've had a bit more time to play with @postmarketOS.

It is a joy.

I must look at how I can contribute, as this is a massively useful project, which I can see liberating numerous devices from outdated OSs in the future.

People often ask me, "how did you learn all of this stuff?"

And quite frankly, at one point in my life, I did, " ls /usr/bin"

and then read the man page for every single fucking thing in there.

and that attitude never stopped. Hell, that attitude existed for years before that moment. I read everything I can get my hands on.

But, I digress.

A few years later, I knew a thing or two about UNIX.

I read the fucking manual.

When I buy a new refrigerator, I read the fucking manual.

When I get a new stove, I read the fucking manual.

When my home's furnace stopped working on Dec 24 2012, I blew the technician on the phone's mind away because I had already read the fucking manual and knew what the flashing lights meant. I didn't have a fix from the manual, but based on my description, he lead me to a basic short term solution, got my house warm again, and saved me about $700 in emergency repairs.

Before I ever touched a computer, I was reading the fucking instructions.

I realize it is now high and mighty to place ourselves above end users who.... don't know how to RTFM.

But seriously.... don't sell yourself short.

RTFM will always pay out.
